Homemade Fudge Brownies
I’m not ashamed to say that this recipe came about due to my own forgetfulness, anger and intense cravings for a brownie. See, I always make brownies from a box mix. God knows that I can’t criticize boxed cake or brownie mix- I usually find that they are just as good (or in the case of white cake) better than what I could make myself from scratch. Why expend the extra time, effort and money? Frankly, I think that Duncan Hines fudge brownie mix yields justabout the best brownies you can make. I made brownies from scratch before and decided they were not worth the effort.
So why change now?
Well, I’ll tell you. I wanted brownies, thought about them intensely, and then forgot to get a box of mix THREE TIMES IN A ROW that I went to the store. When I got home the last time and realized that I forgot it yet again, I was so irritated at myself that I said, ” *$%! this. I’ll just figure out how to make them from scratch.“
So I did! Turns out theres a couple ways to make brownies from scratch- the cocoa powder route and the melted chocolate route. For sake of simplicity, less dishes, and a desire to get as close as possible to the brownies that I love, I went with the cocoa route. The second step is lots of butter. Really. Lots. I’d like to say that I felt guilty about the amount of butter that I put into these, but that would be a bold faced lie. They were worth every. single. calorie.

Were these a chewy brownie? Also once you cut them up,did they start to get hard again? How do you keep them chewy without getting stale like?

I only make chewy brownies 🙂 Anything will get stale if you cut it up and leave it out, but you can slow it down by covering the plate or pan with plastic wrap. 15 seconds in the microwave doesn’t hurt either.
